The Green Bay Metro Fire Department and NBC26 are teaming up once again this year to help teenagers in need in our community, and we need your help!
The Gifts for Teens drive begins Black Friday and runs through December 12.
Shopko and The Animal House Pet Clinic are also sponsoring this year's drive, and you can drop off gifts or monetary donations at the following locations:
- Any Green Bay Metro fire station
- NBC26 at 1391 North Road in Ashwaubenon
- The Animal House Pet Clinic locations in Green Bay
There will be donation boxes at each location.
You can also donate during the Gifts for Teens parades, taking place in each fire station's district during the first two weeks of December. Each parade will begin at 6 p.m.
The parades will feature the Green Bay Metro Fire Department, Green Bay Police Department, Brown County Sheriff's Office and Santa!
The parades will be on the following dates. Click the links to see a map of the parade route:

Finally, you can donate at our Gifts for Teens donation event at the Shopko at Bay Park Square Mall on December 12. Firefighters and members of the NBC26 news team will be at Shopko all day accepting monetary and gift donations.
If you choose to donate a check, please make it out to Local 141 Charities.
All donations go The Salvation Army for families in need in Northeast Wisconsin. If you donate, you can enter to win a Mike Daniels autographed football and other Packers gear!
Last year, we tripled the number of donations. We want to help even more teenagers in our community this year, but we can't do that without your help!
